This review is for China Bar Signature Buffet, Burwood East VIC

verified email - 07 Oct 2012

China Bar Buffet is $29 for lunch and about $60 for dinner. While the prices may appear fairly high, for lunch it is all you can eat YumCha, sushi and Chinese cuisines. There is also an extensive dessert selection. The red bean icy pole is definitely a must try. For dinner, you get the choice offered for lunch plus Peking duck, fresh oysters, crab, prawns and sashimi. They also have really nice soups! If you are willing to pay the price, this is a pretty good place to satisfy any appetite.

Approximate cost: $29/$60

One of my favourite places for YumCha and also dinner. Prices are really reasonable. Seafood selection is also really good here. A good place for snow crab or lobster noodles. The combination seafood in a crock pot dish is also very tasty. YumCha is also great but be sure to book on weekends or you'll either be waiting at the door for your name to be called out for some time or miss out completely!

Approximate cost: $20

Been here a number of times and service is always good. The salt and pepper calamari is a favourite. Dishes are fairly large in size though and I always struggle to finish my plate. Iced coffee is also great on a sunny day as is all coffee from this place.

Approximate cost: $25

Be prepared to line up, especially for dinner. Food here is good, especially the tapas. Corn is a must try. Sangria was perfect. A little too dim for my liking but somehow the waiters always seem to spot you. Good service in a very busy restaurant.

Approximate cost: $30

They have a great noodle bar for lunch while I prefer sitting down and choosing dishes for dinner from their extensive menu. Food generally is average tasting, but their Pho is a generous serve. Pricing is decent and they have good coffee.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Thai Garden, Glen Waverley VIC

Food at Thai Garden is always tasty. They make a great green curry and their chicken and cashew nut dish is excellent. Service is always good although be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes for food - authentic and good dishes take time to make. The place is fairly small so can be slightly crowded. Always book for weekends.

Approximate cost: $15-$20

This review is for Saigon Orchid Vietnamese Restaurant, Glen Waverley VIC

The restaurant is a clean, comfortable place that has a fairly pleasant feel as you enter. An extensive menu is available with a variety of dishes. Food was pretty good and service was mostly quick. Only complaint would be that we felt rushed out a little at the end even when there wasn't anyone waiting for our table.

Approximate cost: $20
